Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) confronts Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) over her treatment of Joel Marshall (Max Murray) in EastEnders next week, after making a discovery about her role in the teen's attack.
Amy's involvement in the attack
Joel, who recently returned to Walford after time in a young offenders unit, was attacked in the park by a group of local teens, including Amy, Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James), Barney Mitchell (Lewis Bridgeman), Ricky (Frankie Day), Nugget (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury), and Denzel Danes (Jaden Ladega). The group tied him up and poured beer over him, recording the incident on their phones.
After leaving him chained to a fence for 45 minutes, the teens returned to find Joel had been untied and attacked again, left with a serious head injury.
Craig's suspension and dynamic with Amy
Newcomer DC Craig Ingram (Matthew James Bailey) has been leading the investigation but has also been crossing professional boundaries with Amy. Next week, Craig is suspended from public duty policing after a serious complaint is made against him, and he learns he will be taken off the Joel case.
Despite this, Craig continues to support Amy, promising to be there for her during a private chat. Prior to their meeting, Amy has a run-in with Joel, which Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) riles at her for.
Ross's anger and confrontation
Amy faces more trouble when Ross approaches her after discovering she wasn't kind to Joel. Ross's anger grows when Craig informs him he's coming off the case. Ross stands up to Joel for Amy and later invites him to join his and Vicki's movie night.
The developments could leave Amy feeling isolated, potentially drawing her closer to Craig.
